Spray your wood furniture with a good quality furniture spray before storing it in the facility to give it some added protection.

Plan to use furniture drawers as an extra box (they are especially good for fragile items) and you can use the inside of wardrobes
to store boxes. Kitchen appliances such as stove and fridges can also be used in this way.

It is against the law in Idaho to store materials that are hazardous or combustible such as gasoline, cleaning fluids, paint, etc.
Drain all gasoline from lawnmowers, power tools, boats and snowmobiles. Only empty propane tanks are allowed. Do not forget the
tank on your grill.

Store mattresses and box springs on long edges. Purchase storage bags that are made specifically for mattresses so that they
can breathe to prevent mildew from forming.

Do not use newspaper to pack with. The ink may leave smudges on certain items.

Do not fill boxes too full. This may cause them to burst.

Store framed mirrors, photographs and artwork vertically rather than flat.

Cover furniture with sheets or tarps to protect them from stains, tears, scratches or moisture.

Place least used items at the rear of the moving van so they can easily be placed first in the back of your unit. Now you can
place frequently accessed items towards the front of your unit.

Do not store food in open containers or any item which could attract rodents or pests. Why risk your possessions just to
keep a few cents worth of leftovers?
